Here in Pennsylvania at Hersheypark Stadium, the last details for Saturday's concert are coming into place. We've had a lot of eager requests for the schedule for the lineup, so I'm happy to post it below! However, please be aware that it's definitely still subject to change. (Update: the schedule was last updated at 8:15pm on 9/21.)

Doors open at noon and the show will run until 11pm. Please come for the whole day — you won't want to miss any of the generous artists who have donated all the expenses for their travel and performances, and to see the unique on-stage collaborations that happen so often between artists at Farm Aid.

You'll also want to set aside time to explore the HOMEGROWN Village, which is open from noon until 5:30pm, to experience hands-on, interactive exhibits from a variety of food and farming groups to learn more about farmers and where your food comes from. Stop by the HOMEGROWN Skills Tent to learn skills like how to pickle any vegetable in 10 minutes, how to raise chickens in the backyard, and much more.

And finally, if you're not joining us in Hershey this year, remember to tune into our webcast, Farm Aid 2012: A Backstage Pass from 8-11pm Eastern on FarmAid.org. And if you're on Twitter, use the hashtag #FarmAid2012 to share your experiences!

I'm really excited for Farm Aid, and I don't mean to be critical, but how is this schedule going to work with set changes and whatnot? Some early acts are only separated by 25-30 minutes and it will take at least 15 minutes to break down one band and set up another. I'm concerned the schedule will by way off track by the evening, which might cause headliners to get cut short.
